Effing Xmas cards. I'm tired of them. I'm tired of putting the thought and heart into them each year. We have photos taken, include photos of the pets, maybe write a little something, have custom printing done, go over the list to keep it under 150, address all of the envelopes, seal, stamp & mail them all. It's just a lot of money and work, and just don't really feel like it.
I feel like this year we should send them out to look something like this:
We'll just use last year's photo and this year's text, which should have/could have been text for the past two years.
If it's not appropriate to send these out - and believe me, I'm tempted - I may not send any out at all. Instead, I'll wait for all the precious, cute, wonderful cards from family and friends with their precious children that I don't have. How's that for some bitter Christmas candy?

I like it, I think you should send me one so I can insert my own face in the picture and send it out too, heehee.
By the way, I was so tempted last year to shred all the 'happy family' cards I got. Evil I know, but they are asking for it shoving their kids in our faces, no? lol
OH, and I'll definitely have a drink in your honor on Thanksgiving =)
Wow, 150? You go, girl!!! I usually only manage around 50! I love the idea. I have thought of doing something similar. What I try to do is find a picture of DH and I doing something cute and fun...that people with kids just can't do (dinner at a really fancy restaurant or traveling to not-kid-friendly locales). Is that evil?
Good luck!
LOL... sorry, but the "Hi, it's us again..." started me off laughing.
Yeah, I so relate. I thought about asking if I could borrow that text... heh, then realized I do what Rain Child does, sort of. A whole dissertation about all the exotic traveling and stuff that we do as a couple. Heh. *sigh*
dude. best. card. EVER!
Maybe it's just me and where I'm at in life. But I like the card, it made me laugh.
I say what the hell and send that out this year!
Why not- I think honesty has it's place in this world. I'm going all out propaganda style with the dogs telling everyone that 7-8 million animals die each year without a home. Nicest of holiday messages? Not unless you are the lucky adopted dog... But hey, I am who I am and I mean what I say just like you.
Hugs.
Hopped over to this post from 999 reasons to laugh... and I laughed so hard! What a perfect card!
I'm visiting from 999 Reasons...I love your card! V classic. :)
Best wishes, from another waiting-to-be-mom.
